How to Apply
We participate in the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) and accept applications through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). The ERAS common application form requires:
- Medical school transcript
- United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) 1, 2, 3 (or equivalent COMLEX) transcripts
- Three letters of recommendation (with one from the residency program director in internal medicine)
- Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) status report, if applicable
- Personal statement
To be considered, applicants must complete an Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) internal medicine residency or equivalent by July 1 of the fellowship start date. We support J-1 visas. For international medical graduates, it is important to note that completing an ACGME-accredited internal medicine residency training program and American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) board-eligibility in internal medicine is required for ABIM board-eligibility and certification in infectious disease.
There are 2 positions available for first-year Infectious Diseases fellows annually.
